My wife and son bought the game for me as a Father's day present. I think its great! First off, the 2 on 2 action is a whole lot easier to manage versus other b-ball games where you have 5 on 5 and you're constantly switching players. This game gives you control of one player's movements and the other player's pass and shoot & block and steal. It is so playable, my wife could even join in on the fun! This game has got depth too. You can customize your player as you win games and win "priveliges". I love that. Also the game is pretty accurate with team players and their stats and it works well with your game plan. The dunks are crazy and I've yet to learn to fully dominate. Graphics are alright, but the playability is tops!

Ok this game is very exciting. The graphics are good and it doesn't cheat you very often. I have played this game probably over 200 times. Whenever I have friends over they always start playing that game. If i have a different game in they always take it out and put in NBA Showtime. It is very fun playing with 2 or more people. Even playing by yourself is fun. The 2-on-2 play spreads out the court well and it keeps track of stats pretty well too i think. Creating players and trying to get them to the top being a grand champion and all star champion makes you want to keep playing the game. I got a lot out of the game i think everyone should. In my opinion it's the best sports game on the Play Station system. I give it 5 stars. Thank You.

NBA Showtime is a better arcade version of NBA Jam and its sister game, College Slam. It's the same as NBA Jam, but it's in 3-D. One of the things i like is the horn you hear when you are goaltending or a free throw. It is indeed Showtime!

On this game the graphics are great! The problem is that when I first bought this game I thought that there was going to be a whole team playing, but it's two vs. two. you pick out what two players you want two play with. The only good thing about it is that it's easier to play the game. I was hoping that a whole team would be playing each other. If you buy this game it's worth trying it.

Granted, the Playstation doesn't have quite the graphics of N-64 and certainly not the realism of Sega Dreamcast, however, I thought with this relatively simple and fun game they could really do a great job. Unfortunately, the graphics are no better than any other game. It is simple and fast paced (normally my kind of game) but it is a real design flaw that when you pass the ball to your teammate, you don't control the teammate (other than to shoot or pass). A more complicated game like NBA Live can even manage that simple feat. The dunks are great fun and I would imagine the game play with four people would be loads of fun (if I had friends I would be able to say so but, alas, such is not the case). My favorite game in the world is NFL Blitz and since Blitz and Showtime are both made by Midway, I expected more. So it goes.

this game really was a surprise for me and and buds. really it is fun to play with 2 or more players. it gets boring playing it by yourself. the computer drone on your team doesn't do jack. if you can play with two or more people then buy this midway classic

It's in the middle because the computer makes the 3 pointers easy and sometimes you can't make them. The computer also steals the ball away from you.The good thing is the graphics and slam dunks!

It's a good game because in other basketball games three-pointers are almost impossible to make. The graphics are great.

the graphics are sweeeeeeeet and the player faces are like real and i like to do freaky dunks. Like, one time.... i like played the game.... and i like..... lost. But it was still like, totally radical dude.
